Episode Details

Hurricane Helene’s aftermath sent a chilling message: prep before the storm hits, not when the winds roar. Hillsborough County officials warn shelters are last-resort lifeboats, not comfy cruise ships — and evacuating to friends/family is ideal. Pack light with meds, docs, hygiene — public shelters offer free meals but basic fare. Special needs shelters have adapted beds. Over 1,000 water rescues in one county alone show first responders’ limits — help won’t always reach those who stay. Pet owners? Research pet-friendly shelters (service animals always welcome). Bottom line: plan now — your safety depends on it.
